In her dreams Polly is a beautiful macaw flying free in The Perfect Outside. In reality she is no more than a common green parrot, forever looking out through the bars of her cage. Beyond those bars is Fluffy, a Persian Queen of a cat, who loves her indolent, inside life ― and Wadia, her eccentric, stuck-in-a-rut owner and his TV set. In a crisis, Polly and Fluffy embark on an adventure and explore the meaning of being outside, of freedom and inner happiness.
Is this an allegorical tale like Life of Pi? A life-affirming book of self-actualisation like Jonathan Livingston Seagull? A parable for our times like The Little Prince? Or just a nice story about a parrot and a cat? We'll let you decide.
